Considering sliding mode control (SMC) method using the estimation of upper bound on disturbances in motor servo system, if the upper bound is underestimated, the position tracking precision is poor. Contrarily, the control input is overlarge and even chatters violently. To solve the above problems, an adaptive sliding mode controller (ASMC) is proposed. It utilizes a fuzzy decision maker (FDM), which exports the estimation of upper bound on disturbances according to the information of position tracking error and control input. The computer simulations on a dc motor present that the proposed method guarantees satisfactory position tracking accuracy and the chattering at control input is evidently suppressed. Moreover, the output of FDM is sensitive to the changes of disturbances real-timely and precisely. Subsequently, the proposed scheme possesses strong robust performance against disturbances in motor servo system.
